How sharp can you get a knife with just this tool?

Pretty darn sharp. This tool is a little on the small side but if u are patient, u can get that knife sharp enough to slice through paper very easily and shave hair off ur arm.

I had a knife go from too dull to slice tomatoes to sharp enough to open the back of my hand with just the weight of the knife (I applied no pressure with my hand). So, pretty damn sharp.

Provided the knife isn't horribly dull, the tool can keep your knife razor blade sharp. Works great for me.

AS far as I know you can not sharpen it. I had mine for longer than 5 yrs. I also used it almost every day! You should only be using it to slice vegetables. I broke the hand the blade was fine.

I've used mine for cutting dove tails and other fine cuts. It is flexible (which some may not like) and sharp. I have not tried sharpening it.

I have never attempted to sharpen scissors and I really am not familiar with the finer points of the process. This stone is a very simple tool for sharpening simple non-serrated knives. If scissors can be sharpened by simply honing one or both sides of the blades, the stone should work fine. If you need to do something more intricate, it won't do.

I've used it to slice through a 3/4 inch pork chop like a hot knife through butter. It is a sharp knife.. Be careful, my finger can back me up on this one.

It works great, but you need a good sharp knife as well. I got the commercial knife called Fat Daddio. Just keep it away from small children!

I use an accu-sharp knife and tool sharpener. It does a fantastic job on this particular blade. When you see one; the way it is used is pretty self-explanatory.

My Spyderco has never become dull, but the maker will sharpen it for you, or sell you a tool to do it yourself.

My knife was very sharp. Sharp enough to cut me! It is very rigid for it's length. Perhaps that other person was using the flat side of the knife? It is sharp enough to cut cake & bread with ease. It's not razor sharp, because it is not meant to be a razor sharp meat carving blade. Buy it, you won't be dissapointed.

I really can't say. I sharpen all my knives between cooks. When I use it, I usually slice anywhere between 2 and 6 briskets and lots of ribs. And when I'm done, it's sharp enough to slice lots of sausage as well. It will have a few knicks in it after I'm done, so I always sharpen it. I'm pretty rough with it though, so your mileage may vary.

Yes > The knife can easily be opened and used with one hand. It comes sharp from the factory. dt

It's fairly sharp out of the box, but I'd recommend sharpening it yourself. The pivot on mine is a rivet not a screw. Its firm enough not to open in my pocket.

The blade is serrated and very sharp. I use it to fillet fish and it easily cuts through rib bones. I am not aware of a tool for sharpening serrated knives.

Yes but to make sharper .. YouTube a video on how.. as simple as raising the blade closer to the edge

honestly this knife comes very sharp and stays that way for a while. I would either take it to a local knife sharpener or just use typical sharpening methods

I have not attempted to sharpen it. I use it for cutting and scraping dough.

I just use a regular steel and it works great. Use the angle you would for any knife.
